The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-08-31

IT was matter for congratulation when,
owing to the untiring efforts of Hon. j. S.
Cross of Bangor, the bill against graveyard
insurance known as the Cross bill, became a
law. But, as with all new laws, many at
tempts will be made to evade it, and to carry
on the old business under a new name.
Already attempts are being made to get old
policy holders of these defunct concerns in
this state, interested in similar institutions
outside; but Col. HENRY s. RAYMOND, state
commissioner of insurance, has given these
parties due warning that he will do all in his
power to enforce the law, so that. if their
agents dare to enter our borders to ply their
nefarious calling, they will be summarily
dealt with.

GoRMAN combination, as to pledge its support
to the entire ticket recently presented by the
republican state convention held at Balti-
more. If this pledge is fulfilled, and the
reformers seem to be terribly in earnest, the
republicans will carry the state by rousing
majority, and GRovER's pet gang of ballot
box suffers and funny-workers will be con-
signed to the things of the past.

Mrs. Phoebe Chesley, Peterson, Clay Co.,

the truth of which is vouched for by the res

myself without help. Now 1 am free from
all pain and soreness and am able to do all
my own homework. 1 owe my thanks to

SOME of our democratic friends are be-
moaning that the president will not be able
TO attend all the banquets and receptions that
may be rendered him, as he swings around
the circle. There is no call to weep over this
matter, gentlemen, for, if he finds the de-
mands upon his time too numerous, he can
easily send Mrs. CLEVELAND in his place, and
the people will be just rs we'll satisfied.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT
Effecting the Holdings OF Three
Hundred San Franciscans.

SAN Francisco, August 22.-The
city and county of San Francisco has
commenced suit against Andrew j..
Itsell, the German Savings Society,
the French Savings Bank and about
800 individual defendants to re-
cover property held by defendants,
but which is claimed by the munici-
pal authorities as public square.
OBJECT OF THE SUIT.
The suit is in the form of an eject
ment, alleging that prior to December,
1888, and for many years prior thereto,
the municipality was owner in fee sim
pie of the property, and that the de-
PENDANTS had unlawfully taken posses
sion of the property. The answer OF
the defendant was that there was no
cause of action.
WHAT THE CTTY's SUCCESS MEANS.
The litigation is important and if
the city should win it will restore
property valued at present at nearly
$500 900 TO the municipality, but at
the same time will deprive several
hundred people of lneir homes, which
they bought in good faith and pnder
the ordinances of the Board of Super
visors. The case will be tried on Thurs
day next.

SAN Francisco, August 22.-The
much talked of commodity tariff of
the Southern Pacific and Texas Pacific
roads was issued to-day. 1t applies
from all California,points to all stations
on the Texas Pacific between
Weatherford, Texas, and Shreveport,
Ia. between Fort Worth and Texar-
kama and between the last named
placed and Marshall.
THE OBJECT OF THE TARIFF
Is to formulate shipments from this
city and the giving of lower rates.
A RIDICULOUS ARRANGEMENT.
Heretofore local shippers interested
in the Texas trade have had, in order
to avail themselves of the lowest
charges to all points in Texas outside
OF Houston and Galveston, to ship to
the latter place first and then have
the goods re-shipped from there to
their original destination.
WHAT WAS NEEDED.
By the new tariff they can ship di-
rect to any place in the State, and the
rate is made up by adding to the
through charge to Houston or Calves
ton the local rates from those cities to
the destined point.

ALASKAN ADVlCES.
Clue to the WHEREIN bouts OF the
Crow Of IL Wrecked whaler.

SAN Francisco, August 22.-lnter-
views with officers of the bark Pearl,
which has just arrived from Fox Is
lands, Alaska, elicits the information
that there is probability that in Sibe-
ria are several Of the crew of the whal-
ing bark Napoleon which was wrecked
about two years ago off the Siberian
coast. There were two boats crews
that were never heard from after the
wreck, among the lost being the first
and third mates.
HOW THE NEWS CAME.
A piece of wood was secured by the
Pearl from natives, on which were
carved initials which are supposed to
be those of J. B. Vincent of Martha's
Vineyard, Mass, who was one of the
Napoleon's crew. Other letters and
characters, under date OF this year,
seemed to indicate the mans W ere
abouts to be at village near Cape

DIsTREssA MoNG NATIVES.
Natives on the northwest coast of
AlaskNare very short of food. the run
of fish being very poor. Walrus and
seals have been scarce and hunting
for animals has been prevented by
prevalence OF strong gales and heavy
ice during the Spring.
THE WEATHER CHANGES.
Since the commencement OF July
strong southerly winds have prevailed
and steamers have been as far north
as 20 degrees off shore, but the report
is that the icebergs are heavily in
shore, and no communication has
been made with the natives at Pam
hope. There does not appear to be
any reason why fleet cannot reach
Point Barrow this season, probably in
August.
THE BEARS DETAILS.
The Bear in September will go on
duty off Seal Island.
In October she expects to reach Sit
ka with fuller reports, and it is believed
that Archbishop Segher's body will be
conveyed for burial to Victoria on the
ship.

Important Decision Re-

IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
The Railroad Commission at Work

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN FRANCIsco, August 22.-An
important decision was rendered to-
dav in the United States Circuit
Court, which settles the title to thou
sands of acres of railroad land in Los
Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
ORIGIN OF THE SUIT.
On June 8, 1885, j. d. Redding, attor-
nev for the Southern Pacific railroad.
brought suit to eject Edward Poole
and II. p. S. Davis from railroad land
situated in the above-named counties.
LOCATION OF THE LAND.
The land had been patented from
the government, and was valued at
$l5.O 900. It formed part of the grant
made by Congress on March 3, 1871,
which extended from Tehachapi to
Fort Yuma, a distance of 320 miles,
and consisted of every odd section for
twenty miles on either side of the
track.
THE CLAIM.
The defendants claimed that the
railroad was incapable of receiving
the title at that time and, therefore,
under the terms of the grant forfeited
the land.
THE QUESTION INVOLVED
Was whether the railroad was or was
not capable of receiving the land at
that time.
sAwYER's DECISION.
Judge Sawyer in overruling the
demurrer of the defendants estab-
fishes title of the railroad to the
land. United States Land Depart
ment authorities have decided against
the railroads claim, and have given
patents to the settlers.
EFFECT OF THE RULING.
The railroad can now, by this de-
cision, proceed against the settlers
and force them to leave or rdy for
their ground. Judge Sawyer gave
defendants until October 22d to
answer, and unless they can prove
clame prior to that Of the railroad, or
that their land is on Spanish grant
they must surrender it to the railroad.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 22.-It is
officially announced that the govern
ment has sent a CIRCULAR to the
powers declaring that it il unable to
recognize the validity of Prince Fer
dinand's election to the throne of Bull
garia.
AN APPEAL TO THE CZAR.
According to the circular, Prince
Ferdinand acquainted the Gar with
the fact of his election, and requested
permission to visit St. Petersburg, to
learn the Cars wishes, before going
to Bulgaria.
A NEGATIVE REPLY.
The Car replied that the Princes
election would not be recognized by
Russia and that the Prince could bv
no pretex justify his journey to Bull
garia. The circular in conclu-
sion expressed the hope that
the Bulgarian people will coincide
with Russia's views and not per-
NIT fragrant violation of the Berlin
treaty.
PRESS COMMENT.
The Moscow Gazette says that the
circular has given great satisfaction
throughout Russia. 1t believes Prince
Ferdinand's retirement now to be in
evitable, and says that if he does not
leave Bulgaria, Russia will renounce
her obligation under the Berlin treaty,

a bitter deception alter glorious war.
